  • I love “Kiss From A Rose”, Seal's beautiful medieval-style theme song from the “Batman Forever” film soundtrack (flashback to my young years in the 1990's!). I already published a video of that song, one of the first videos on my CZcams channel a few years back, but here is a new rendition of it which is special for 2 reasons. First, while my first video was a pedal harp version of the song, I managed (to my own surprise) to arrange it for pedal harp, something I didn't think was possible given the frequent key changes throughout the piece - so I'm very happy to make the sheet music of this lovely tune available for celtic lever harps now! Second, I am now playing this song on a brand new bardic harp that Muzikkon is just about to release, the Cèilidh 19. I love this new harp so much. It is incredibly lightweight and compact with 19 strings, but it's fully levered and it's equipped with high tech strings that are high tension, durable and sound gorgeous all at the same time! A very innovative design which offers everything you dream about a harp - quality, portability, and most importantly, a beautiful sound that lights up your soul. This would make a perfect harp therapy companion. And because it's fully levered and is fitted with 2.5 octaves, it's just amazing what a broad repertoire you can play with it. I think the fact I was able to arrange one of my favorite pedal harp pieces here on this instrument speaks for itself about its possibilities! I am now working on a new music book with exciting pieces to play on this fantastic instrument, so check out this space. And do not hesitate to visit muzikkon.com not to miss its upcoming release in the coming days!
    EDIT: the Cèilidh 19 is now available for purchase on Muzikkon’s website at the following link

    Thank you ❤ had you a chance to look at their 29 string range yet. I was looking at their ard ri wallnut which has more base strings ranging from A2. I am beginner but would like to use for basic sound baths so like be the lower string sounds. Would appreciate your thoughts ❤

      @@saolairde396 hey, totally understand your need for deeply resonant bass strings in the context of your sound baths! The only recording I have at hand is for the Muzikkon Claddagh 28, listen to the demo in the video and see if you feel the bass strings deliver the kind of resonance you are after :

    What a wonderful music video and performance. Seeing the immense detail you went to with this performance is phenomenal and greatly appreciated. It's always a joy to watch a new creation of yours. Are you receiving autumn weather yet? It still feels like summer here, although not as intense as before (the first half of September is very July-like on average, but the second half is very June-like and usually when the first hint of what could be called autumn weather appears).

      Thank you so much dear Matt! This video was recorded a few weeks ago but it took a while to edit and post it! We had an incredibly warm couple of weeks here just now (warmer than at the beginning of summer actually) so we’re not really in an autumn mood yet, but you’re right - it’s supposed to cool down significantly in the second half of the month. Can’t believe Halloween is getting near already, time flies! Hope all is well with you, warm greetings from across the pond ❤️

      Thanks Pamela. I am truly impressed with the quality of this harp, Muzikkon is really upping their game with this new range which has nothing to envy to competition (they have been completely rethinking their design and material with these models and they feel so premium!). It’s an incredibly fulfilling instrument compared to other small harps I’ve tried, because it sounds amazing for its size (not clunky), its design is so ergonomic and comfortable to play, and last but not least, it is fully levered, making it possible to play a whole new repertoire I would never have considered for small harps!! In my next video you will hear the little sister of this harp, the Cèilidh 15 which is a superb alternative to the Aklot 15 thanks to its warm sound and all its levers! ❤️ I would definitely recommend both Cèilidh 19 and 15, particularly for travel or harp therapy.

    Mesmerizing and truly captivating, I was hanging on to every note.. I also noticed something about the harp I was unaware of.. the little lever, does that act like a dampener on a piano?

    • @mariannebouvettemusic
      @mariannebouvettemusic  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much Todd! No, the levers don’t dampen, they actually modify the sound of the strings. Actually, the strings on a Celtic harp are pretty much like the white keys of a piano - they allow you to play a diatonic scale without “black keys” (sharps and flats). The beauty of having levers is that a lever will increase the tension of the string it’s connected to when you lift it, so it allows you to play semitones (as if you had access to black keys). Still not as versatile as a keyboard but it definitely gives you more harmonic possibilities than a harp without levers!
